I've seen one grizzly, but I saw him first and it was from a good-distance.

Biking in the woods is so fucking dumb.

Uh yea dude... Some bears can run up to 30-40 ft/s... That's twice as fast as a human. And I've been told they can outrun a racehorse for short distances. But they have little endurance.

 

[beardown07]

Oh I know the stats....still amazing to see it tho.

"We brought our bear spray... We should be good"

It's too tempting for them. You draw tons of attention to yourself, and since you are moving ata clip, they see it as sport. The chase is part of the hunt.

Backcountry (2015)


I know these kinds of movies have been done before, but not like this. The director of this movie boiled & chopped down the usual character plots, over-the-top gore, overplaying the 'villain', etc... And the result is a deep rooted primal fear which is the basic element of all good horror movies. This movie plays with your instincts, and leaves a lasting creepy vibe like what the movie Jaws did to your ocean swimming ventures. That is the realization that we are not atop the food chain in these environments! The special effects were gritty and believable which isn't always the case with most bear carnage movie. The movie lagged at points, but they achieved getting me to really want the living character to survive. The film captured the pure horror of being in the middle of nowhere and experiencing crisis. Are any of us really prepared when encountering a situation like this?! I don't care how much Bear Grylls you watch, you don't know how to react to these situations until you are smack dab in the middle of it. I've been lost hunting before, which isn't fun. Luckily I have been trained for such events and had the proper gear. But I have never been confronted with a territorial predator. You can say all you want about "I would have done this differently" after watching this movie, but in reality you know that if a bear came popping into your tent you would have little time to react. Yes the characters could have used the bear spray differently, but the sense of overbearing adrenaline had to play a part with it. It really makes you ask yourself, what would I have done in that situation.

Recommended! Camping anyone? 7/10

I'm going to watch this simply because that is the chic for that gymnastic movie.

I hope that bear is up the standard set by Bart the bear.

Watched It Follows last night as per the recommendation here.

A fairly bizarre little flick but well done. The overall mood was kind of a on-edge negative energy with the director's use of silence throughout the movie. Even before the "creature" came in, the characters seemed to have a bored-nervous-dangerous edge.

Cool and original story. Didn't really follow through on the creature and violence as much as I would have liked to have seen but it was certainly interesting and rather thought provoking.

Well worth watching if you are into the horror genre.

Watched The Loved Ones last night. Good Aussie addition to the high school slasher genre (not really a slasher though but I don't know how else to describe it).

Craziest family this side of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Rob Zombie flicks. These people were batshit!!

Along with You're Next, one of the better horror movies I have seen recently. Definitely recommended.

Adding to the list! Thanks for the rec!

Glad you liked "It Follows"! Definitely one of the better horror movies that I've seen in a long time.

When I was a kid, I used to watch all those old Hammer horror movies. The late, great Christopher Lee was my favorite horror actor...imo, the best Dracula in cinema. R.I.P.

Didn't know that he passed!? Wow thats crazy! He was one of the all time greatest film villains... Loved that guy! RIP!!!

 

[jakedog56]

The greatest Dracula performer ever??

It had to be either Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi.

RIP Mr. Lee! Thanks for the performances.

Just watched Charlie

As short films go, Charlie is relentlessly tense and leaves you feeling unnervingly anxious throughout. Many filming techniques, which are often overlooked in the modern age of filmmaking, are brought to life here.

The imagination is a tool, that when used correctly, is easily a hundred times more powerful than any gimmick or trick any writer/director could muster up. Here, we're allowed to use that tool and create a kind of fear that cant be created with any amount of blood/gore.

A simple concept turned into quite a brilliant piece of work, again another thing overlooked in modern film, simple concepts developed into fresh ideas. Modern settings, exceptional acting, original ideas and great directing come together to make an artwork that I don't think will be matched in a very long time.


9.5/10
